Like all Klimatik line pieces, the 22cm tall ALÉ Team Klimatik sock was built for protection from the elements, but also functions as a true cycling sock. The Klimatik fabric will block wind, as well as repel water, while keeping your feet and lower legs warmer. The fabric is breathable as well, but these socks were designed for 39-46°F degree temperatures, which is about the coldest range most pro cyclists train at regularly unless the roads are dry and safe. With a panel construction applied in directional stretch orientations based on the requirements of the foot, the low bulk socks provide arch support, have reinforced, anti-blister toe and heel zones, and stay in place as any great tall sock is supposed to.
